You've obviously got great people skills, calling people nerds then asking them to teach you how to use Telnet.. pfff RTFM.

Use Google, surely even non-nerd superstars like yourself can use it properly.

And apart from the people skills you are asking in the broadband forum why .....

haha!nice picture.

OP: i answered your question as well as anyone is going to in your original thread. creating another thread,in the wrong forum,and calling people neards[sic] is just plain unproductive to begin with. the fire continues..

Karoma i thank you for your help:) ....i just thougt i would see anyone else had any idea's. I prob should have put the forum in programming, but i didn't think it really matters.

Not as if i selling a car and puting the thread in Broadband.:rolleyes:

moving this to net/comms (i guess)
you're likely to get a less sarcastic response there

tbh - google is sure to know the answer

Gaz25

MiCrO thank you for the link:D I didn't think there was any need for the sarcastic marks. I will have a look at this, thank again.

I'd say the people making the sarcastic "marks" probably didn't think there ws any need for the moronic thread title. Ah well.

I think I will rescue you now, I know what it feels like to get "flamed" on a message board. Ah by the way the guys and gals were right though, a quick search of the board index would have revealed the net/comms board where you should have posted it, you could have also said "Mods please move this post to another forum if you have to, I am not sure where to post it", that seems to be what most people do when they are not sure.

Now for the rescuing part.
Telnet is an old protocol for connecting to UNIX machines, your telnet program would be a terminal emulator (but dont worry about that). The protocol was really insecure and has been superseded by SSH (Secure SHell).
Googling telnet or SSH should give you the information that you want.

To connect to another computer you would type (on windows)
telnet computer.domain
Telnet would then connect you to the login program on the remote computer on the default port of 23. You would then see a login prompt such as:

Welcome to eircom!
login:
(I used to get this message when I used Hyperterminal to connect to eircoms 1891 150 150 number).

To specify a different port to connect to you just added it to the command line like so:

telnet computer.domain 25

I personaly use telnet for testing servers. For example if I want to check and see if a mail server is working I would telnet into it, almost all servers will respond to a telnet connection and if you have a good knowlege of the server protocol you can also do some pretty interesting things such as sending an email to someone from themselves.

EG: telnet mail2.eircom.net 25 gives me the response:
220 mail10.svc.cra.dublin.eircom.net ESMTP

I learned this information form C Meinels Guide to mostly harmless hacking, I have an archive of some of the guides on my website, so you can download them from there, [url]Http://www.dragonseye.net/home[/url]

I hope this answers your question, oh try searching for telnets RFC. It will contain all the details on the telnet protocol.

If you understand how Telnet works and you haven't seen this before
- enjoy and be amazed

If you don't understand how telnet works - it sends one character per packet to/from the application at the other end. There are many applications at the other end from dumb terminals to routers to whatever. You just have to the manuals for them.

Star wars on Telnet, now that has to be the most unique use for such an old protocol, considering that I just use it for testing servers and port probing.
